Manually entering the calibration values for the pitch and roll measurements
You can calibrate a sensor in the relevant Configurator dialog box. If you know the trawl door installation offset values, you can enter manually them without the need of performing a new calibration whenever the sensor is replaced.
Context
When a sensor is mounted on a trawl door, the pitch and roll measurements may need to be calibrated. If you do not calibrate your sensors you will not know if the pitch and roll readings are correct. If existing sensors have been replaced, or new sensors have been installed, a new calibration is required if the trawl door installation offset values are not available. When you want to use the same sensor in different doors, you do not have to perform the calibration as long as the door installation offset values are properly entered.
Procedure
1 Open the Setup menu.
2 On the Setup menu, select Installation.
Image
Observe that the Installation dialog box opens.
3 At the bottom of the Sensor list page, select Add New Sensor.
The Add New Sensor dialog box opens.
4 Select Yes.
5 In the very first PX Sensor Configurator dialog box, select communication port and sensor type, then select Connect.
The relevant sensor Configurator dialog box opens.
6 Select Calibrate Sensor to open the dialog box.
7 Enter the known values in Door Installation Offsets.
If you are using the calibration values of a PX MultiSensor Mk1 on a PX MultiSensor Mk2, you must on a port door sensor switch the sign on roll value and on the starboard sensor switch sign on Yaw value.
8 Select Set to accept the values.
9 Disconnect the sensor from the interface cable and the computer.
Result
The selected door sensor is calibrated for the pitch and roll measurements.
